it weeps a lil bit when you brake but gradually accumulates and will start to drip down

once youre done with your conversion, just keep an eye on the prop valve every 2 days or so
might start to leak.

Hmm noo shitt..??

Did you just leave it or what can be done to remedy this??

Do you know why it would do this?? Are the brakelines a couple mm thicker in the dc2r or something?? So it gets overfilled and finds it way out through the prop valve?

I'm about to change my BB/BMC to 1" from a dc2 with 262/240 setup.. But stock 30/40 prop valve.

Interesting read this is..

After some research, ive never heard of it leaking other than his experience.

Not sure if its just undocumented or he just unlucky - but i would liek to see more evidence/stories from others.

Is it correct, that i would have to cut around 1mm off the brake line , take out the nut and add the 12mm then reflare it?

can someone 100% this?

Yes thats correct, pirtek charges under $20 to do this (cant remeber exact quote).

Prop valves do tend to leak overtime, it just depends on its condition.

And i dont think any aftermarket company made a 1inch master cylinder, biggest i have seen is 15/16.
